Kamal Nath’s Involvement In “November 1984 Sikh Genocide”

Kamal Nath - Senior member of Indian National Congress party.
Currently: Union Minister of Road, Transport & Highways, India

• In 1984, Kamal Nath was Member Parliament (Lok Sabha) Constitutency ‘Chhindwara’, Madhya Pradesh.
• During the “November 1984 Sikh Genocide”, Kamal Nath led mob that came to the Gurdwara Rakabganj, Delhi on November 1, 1984 and instructed the police to open fire on the Gurdwara Sahib,
  where a large number of Sikhs were killed.
• Under instructions of Kamal Nath, Police men present at the scene instead of preventing the attack, joined the attackers and fired several rounds at the Gurudwara Sahib
• Sikhs burnt alive laid in critical condition in Kamal Nath’s presence and died due to lack of Medical Assistance
• Police Commissioner Gautam Kaul verified Kamal Nath’s presence while the Gurudwara was attacked and Sikhs were burnt alive
• "I had noticed that Mr.Kamal Nath was controlling the crowd and the crowd was looking to him for directions”, Senior Journalist Sanjay Suri in his statement before Nanavati Commission 
• “Outside the Gurdwara I saw a crowd of about 4,000 men led by Congress-I leader Kamal Nath... I saw the bodies of two men, both Sikhs, still burning on the roadside”, Senior Journalist Sanjay Suri in his affidavit before Mishra Commission
• “The unanswered questions about his role in the Rakabganj Gurdwara episode might well hold the key to uncovering the high-level conspiracy behind the 1984 carnage”, Senior Advocate, Delhi HC, HS Phoolka & Senior Editor, Manoj Mitta
• Kamal Nath’s statement before the Nanavati Commission, “As a senior and responsible leader, he went to the Gurdwara after receiving information about violence there. When he arrived, he asked people why they were agitated, and also noted the presence of paramilitary personnel. He was told the mob was agitated on account of some Hindu men and women being forcibly kept inside the Gurdwara. By that time, the commissioner of police arrived. Satisfied that the police would be able to control the situation, he left after trying to persuade the crowd to disperse. He denied giving instructions to anyone to resort to firing. He also denied leading the mob or having any control over it.”
• Justice Nanavati – “The reply filed by Kamal Nath is vague. He has not clearly stated at what time he went there and how long he stayed. The situation at the Gurdwara become very grave at 11.30 am and continued to be grave till 3.30 pm. Evidence shows Kamal Nath was seen there at 2 pm. The Police Commissioner arrived at 3.30 pm, which means he was there for quite a long time. He has not stated whether he went to the Gurdwara alone or with other persons, or how he went there. He has not stated if he looked for the police or tried to contact policemen who were posted there to ensure the situation remained under control. He left that place after the Commissioner arrived. He has not stated that he met him. He was a senior political leader who went to the Gurdwara feeling concerned about the law and order situation, therefore it appears strange that he left abruptly without even contacting the police officers who had come there.'”
